The figure shows a box of dirty money (mass m1 = 3.0 kg) on a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ1 = 31°. The box is connected via a cord of negligible mass to a box of laundered money (mass m2 = 1.5 kg) on a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ2 = 58°. The pulley is frictionless and has negligible mass. What is the tension in the cord?
